<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">Ayon sa tradisyon, ang purple corn ay unang tinanim ng mga
Incans sa Machu Picchu sa Peru noong ika-15 siglo. And mga lahing Inca ay isa
sa mga pinaka-una at nangungunang sibilisasyon noon at may angking galing sa
makabagong teknolohiya noong mga panahong iyon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">Ang Machu Picchu mismo ay tumatayo sa taas na 7, 970
talampakan mula sa lebel ng dagat at ang mga pananim ng purple corn ay umaabot
mula 10,000 hanggang 15,000 talampakan mula sa lebel ng dagat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">Tinaguriang “Royal Grain” o pang maharlikang butil ang purple
corn dahil sa taglay nitong mga kakaibang nutrisyon. Pansin nilang ang mga
kumakain nito ay lumalakas at lumulusog ng di pangkarinawan. Ang mga 60-anyos ay
nakakaranas ng kasiglahan ng kabataan at ang mga kababaihan ay nanganganak pa
sa idad na 80 pataas. Ang mga tao noon sa bulubunduking Andes ng Cusco o Peru
ay karaniwang nabubuhay ng higit sa 100 taon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">May mga ilang nagsasabi ring ang lakas ng purple corn bilang isang <i>super food</i> ay kilala na noon sa matataas na lupain ng Peru bago pa
sumibol ang sibilisasyon ng mga Inca. Natatanim ito at napapalaki sa organikong
paraan, walang kemikal, kaya mas tumindi ang bagsik ng nutrisyon nito. Ito’y naging
karaniwang pagkain ng mga Peruvian kaya di sila sakitin at di basta-bastang
dinadapuan ng sakit. Hanggang dumating ang panahon at nabago ang ihip ng
hangin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">Dahil nga sa kakaibang dulot na kalusugan nito, minabuti ng pamahaaan
ng Inca na ipagbawal ito sa mga “commoners” o mga pangkarinawang tao, at ang
hari o <i>sapa</i> at ang kanyang pamilya
lamang ang pinahintulutang kumain nito.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">Dahil dito, bahagyang dumalang sa sirkulasyon ng karaniwang
pangangalakal ang purple corn, at nung mga taong 1546 hanggang 1618, ayon sa
ibang salaysay ng kasaysayan, tuluyan na itong nabaon sa limot. At sa mga taon
ding yaon, nang naglitawan ang mga mananakop galing Europa dala ang kanilang
mga sakit (smallpox, typhus, influenza, diphtheria, at measles), at dahil sa
mga digmaang sumunod, naubos ang lahing Inca sa Peru. Mabilis nahawa ang mga
Incans sa mga sakit dahil sa mahinang resistansya at kawalan ng purple corn, at
sa tulong ng mga digmaan, tuluyan na silang nabura.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FIL-PH" style="line-height: 150%;">Subalit, naiwan ang mga ligaw na tumubong mga purple corn sa
bulubundukin ng Andes. At may ilang mga tira-tirang butil na rin sa mga bahagi
ng Machu Picchu mismo. At di kalaunan, nadiskubre ito ng mga archeologists na
nagkakalap ng mga artifacts at ipinasa sa mga nutrition scientists na siya
namang namangha sa nilalamang nutrisyon at anitoxidant ng purple corn sa
kanilang mga clinical tests. At ang magandang balitang ito ay kumalat sa
Amerika at sa Canada.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can never understand it. Okay, call me stupid but I can never understand why people admire and respect womanizers. And one who womanizes feels proud about the<i> achievement</i>. What achievement? What did he achieve by that? He destroys women's lives and future and you call that achievement? So what if he's good with women?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all have mothers, I'm sure, and most of us love our mothers--and mothers are women. And thank God your mother didn't become a trophy of someone who was good with women. If she did, then the more you shouldn't make trophies of women. The plague has got to stop right there. It's a spiritual plague that easily spreads and there's no point being part of any of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women are part of men. They're not just life partners--they're us, in a deeper sense, not because some women look like men (many are stronger than men) but because woman was derived from man's very DNA. The wife shares body with the husband because they're one flesh. In a bigger and deeper sense woman is the glory of man. You treat women as mere trophies, you destroy yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thus, many men today are miserable wrecks beneath their sophisticated facades and pretended fronts because they go on pursuing a false sense of achievement. They deeply believe that having had other women while married or having an affair with women outside marriage makes them wiser and better looking because of the experience. I've seen them. Building up an arrogant spirit deep within them because they feel superior, rich and wiser in the experience.<br />
<br />
But they're rotting. A man treads a path he thinks leads to life, or stands on a golden pedestal he thinks reaches to the heavens, only to discover too late that the entire context is within hell. What would it benefit him if he traveled miles or stood on the highest peak, yet forfeited his soul? So what if he's good with women?</div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-74584470123384530822012-03-01T23:04:00.003-08:002012-03-01T23:07:28.852-08:00What Keeps Us Sane?<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OQINHC/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005OQINHC" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ws.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B005OQINHC&MarketPlace=US&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&ServiceVersion=20070822" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B005OQINHC" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">With the many silly things that happen in this world and in life, what keeps us sane? I ask this because apparently many have gone berserk mentally. They look all right but on further scrutiny you'd see they're all wrong. Everything's going wrong and yet they look okay, but when everything's okay they start looking wrong. Everything's and everyone's going quietly insane, and their insanity is hidden in sophisticated fashions or absorption in careers, whatever they are. And it's a great relief to sometimes find some folks who are still thinking right and maturely broad minded.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And these "some folks" are hard to find. They are mostly in some dimly lit corner just quietly sitting and listening and watching "great performers" do their thing and achieve great things and even save the world. I always want to be with these folks but they don't seem to want to pickup the cudgels and lead us who want to keep our sanities intact. They just want to watch silly people act sane. And I guess the only way to stay normal is to stick with these folks--that answers, what keeps us sane.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But no. These folks tell me, the only sure way to stay sane is to sit quietly in a corner and watch the performers. That way, you see where they are and keep yourself separated mentally from them--miles away. The danger is when you fail to see where they are, because that would mean either of two things--that you have joined their crowd or you've formed your own. As long as you see them and keep distance, you're safe. That's what keeps us sane in this mad, cruel world that looks anything but that. You see, this world looks promising and seems to have the possibility of getting better. You only get to see the world as it really is when you begin to get out of its arena and sit quietly in the sidelights and watch the performers. Sit with the quiet sane folks. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Or else, get victimized by its cruelty. But many people who daily suffer the grinding cruelty of the world have their eyes remained blinded and unseeing. They get badly beaten black and blue and yet you see them smile and pretend to be okay and go back to get beaten some more. Unbelievable. And they sometimes wonder why you aren't wallowing with them in the quagmire of insanity. That quagmire can appear as an oasis in a desert of desperation. But keeping away from it is what makes us sane--the few minority of us. And to keep having a sharp eye to discern that mud pool, you have to keep merely sitting in a quiet, dark corner where no one notices you and from there observe how the foolish performers do their thing. That's what keeps us sane says the sane folks that form the meager minority.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/140334552X/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=140334552X" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ws.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=140334552X&MarketPlace=US&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&ServiceVersion=20070822" /></a>You know, it's near to impossible keeping yourself from the limelight and avoid struggling with the performers for stage supremacy. Sometimes, avoiding makes you lose out on getting the better things in life. You will be prejudiced against and suffer the ire of the performers and their sponsors. You live marginally. But I say, better that than lose your sanity with them. What profit will you gain if you grab their stage for yourself and then be like them? Yeah, you get the booty but that will later be the poison that will kill your sanity. Keep out of that booty. Avoid their meat. That's what keeps us sane.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The best result of education is to be able to see the wisdom in sitting quietly in a corner and retaining your sanity. That is godliness.</div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-58894238763937174512011-11-08T16:58:00.001-08:002012-07-12T04:36:40.321-07:00Ang Galing Niyang Mag-Yosi<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ang galing niyang mag-yosi---grabe! Pag-gising sa umaga--pupungas-pungas pa--me subo ng yosi sa bunganga at nag-papausok na. Pati nga mga anak niya pinapausukan--parang texas sa tupada. At hwag ka, mamumulot lang ng basura yan, naka-yosi pa. Yung iba mga me trabaho nga--maliliit naman ang sweldo, pero nag-yo-yosi pa rin para maka-porma lang.<br />
<br /></div>

Yung mga mayayaman? Oo, marami sa kanila nag-yoyosi rin, para daw mas heavygat ang dating. Ewan ko sa mga engot na yan...mga walang isip talaga! Karamihan ng tao, ke nagaaral o hindi, MGA ENGOT! Di nagiisip. Mamya, makikita mo ang mga yan, mukhang kawawa, naka-lugmok sa ospital o sa sulok ng bahay nila, me kanser, stage 7 0 100, naghihintay matigok.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yung iba nga e--yung mga sikat--gaya ng mga artista, mag yoyosi at magda-drugs pa, tapos pag nagka-sakit na, akala mo magagaling na tao. Mangangaral yan, pangangaralan yung mga matitino. Tapos, yung mga engot na tao, lalo pa nilang hahangaan yan. Lalong i-idolohin. Kaya di tayo umaasenso e. Di natin alam ang tama sa mali. MGA KULANGOT!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nag-mumura ako? Hindi, nagsasabi lang ako ng totoo. Ang mga hangal na tulad ng nasabi ko sa taas ay mga kulangot. Ang kulangot binibilog tapos pipitikin pa-tapon. Sa bible nga, sabi ni Hesus sa mga hindi nagiisip, "Mga hangal!" Yung isang bible nga ang translation; "Mga tanga!" Nag-mura ba si Hesus? De-hins tyong. Nagsabi lang siya ng totoo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Syempre, iba din yung totoong nag-mumura. Anyway....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yung ibang tao, sisirain ang katawan nila masabi lang ng ibang tao, "Uy! Ang galing niyang mag-yosi!" Kung ikaw to, engot ka. Magising ka na sa katotohanan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
[1] Nak, bastat totohanin mo lang ang mga sinasabi ko--palalimin mo ba sayo--[2] maging matalas ang tenga mo at talagang mag-siryoso ka sa pagka-heavygat ke God, [3] mag-call o mag-text ka lang o kaya'y sumigaw ka ng rest back pag kelangan mo ng dunong ni God, [4] pag ang dating sayo nito ay datong o parang pagkakakitaan o kaya'y kayamanan to the max, [5] dun mo na ma-ge-gets kung anu talaga ang <i>takot sa Diyos</i>, at dun mo na talaga makikilala si God. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[6] Namimigay si Lord niyan (dunong ni God), at yan eh galing pa mismo sa bibig niya--yang dunong mula sa kanya. [7] Siya ang nagpapanalo sa mga <i>going straight</i>, at parang <i>bullet proof vest</i> siya sa mga matitino. [8] Kasi nga, binabantayan niya ang lakad ng mga OKs sa kanya, at tapos, protektado pa niya ang mga gawi ng mga yan. [9] Ngayon, dyan mo ma-ge-gets kung anu talaga ang tama at OK sa mata ni God--yung mga patas at OK na ugali. [10] Kasi, yung dunong ni God ay papasok sa puso mo, at wala nang magiging OK sayo kundi mga patungkol ke God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[11] Yang dunong ni God na yan ang mismong mag-iingat din sayo, mag-pro-protekta. [12] Yan din ang mag-lalayo sayo sa trouble ng mga pasaway at makukulit--yung mga sinungaling at pala-mura, [13] yung mga dating OK pero mas ginustong mag-wala para maging "in" lang sa kalokohan, [14] yung mga atat gumawa ng mali at masaya sa katarantaduhan, [15] mga baluktot ang buhay at talagang mga walang-hiya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[16] Ang dunong ni God din ang maglalayo sayo sa malalanding babae, lalo't yung mga malalanding misis na malalandi ang dila, [17] mga nagsawa na sa asawa nila at binaboy na ang kasal nila sa harap ni God. [18] Ang haybols ng misis na yan ay lusot sa impyerno at ang buhay niya malapit sa mga nag-mumulto. [19] Maliligaw lahat nang ma-daan at dumalaw sa kanya at tiyak--yari sila!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
[20] Kaya nga, barkadahin mo ang mga matitino, yung mga malalim ke God. [21] Sila yung aasenso ke God habang nasa lupa at sila yung mananatiling ligtas ke God. Yung mga pasaway, yari ke God, yung mga masama ang ugali, parating bibitinin ni God.<br />

[1] Mga bigating pinag-sasabi ni Solomon, anak ng haring si David ng Israel: [2] kung trip mong maging super scholar ni God, yung tipong disiplinado na e malaliman pa; [3] yung tipong straight ka talaga, patas, tama, at OK ke God; [4] yun bang dati engot ka pero ngayon matalino na--yun bang di ka na asal bata o immature--[5] eto...at kahit ang madunong <i>kuno</i>, dapat makinig lang, at yung mga nakaka-alam na matuto pa rin at ma-guide--[6] para maka-intindi sila ng malaliman, mga salita ng malalalim ke God, mga kasabihan at talinghaga at mga ganun...<br />
<br />
[7] Ang umpisa ng may-<i>say</i> ka na talaga sa mga bagay-bagay ay pag me tunay na takot ka ke God, pero ang mga engot ayaw nito. [8] Halimbawa, makinig ka sa erpats mo at wag baliwalain si ermats (sa iba jahe ang ganito). [9] Ang mga aral nila ay tipong the best shampoo sa buhok at mamahaling kwintas sa leeg (pagagandahin ka tol).<br />
<br />
[10] Ngayon naman, nak, pag-niyaya ka ng mga pasaway, wag ka sasama. [11] Sabihin man nilang, "Hoy! Sali ka samin (gang o frat)! Mangursunada tayo, [12] libing natin ng buhay, [13] tapos nakawan natin! [14] Sali ka, kikita tayo dito!" [15] Wag ka sasali! Ni wag kang sasabay sa kanila. [16] Mga addict sa masama ang mga yan, mga takaw-away.<br />
<br />
[17] Basta ka na lang ba makakahuli ng ibon? Hindi ganun lang yun![18] Itong mga astig na 'to, papatayin lang ang mga sarili--nagpapakamatay lang. [19] Lahat ng sugapa ganyan magtatapos--buhay ang kapalit.<br />
<br />
[20] Madali lang naman maka-unawa ng malalim ke God--makukuha mo nga yan kahit palaboy ka lang sa kalye, sa tambayan, [21] kahit sa maiingay na lansangan, dahil ang lakas ng boses nyan--naninigaw pa--kahit nga nasa siyudad ka pa. Sinisigaw niyan (ang wisdom ni God): [22] "Hoy, mga engot! Hanggang kelan kayo magpapaka-engot? Yung mga pilosopo! Hanggang kelan nyo ako pagti-tripan? Yung mga <i>hate</i> matuto! Hanggang kelan nyo ayaw matuto?<br />
<br />
[23] "Kung nakinig lang kayo, binuhos ko sana lahat-lahat sa inyo at inex-plika ang lahat! [24] Pero mas magagaling kasi kayo, [25] at mas matatalino kesa sakin, [26] pagti-tripan ko rin kayo pag nagka-loko-loko na ang buhay nyo, pagtatawanan ko pa kayo pag nasira na ang mga plano nyo sa buhay." [27] Alam nyo, parang bagyong sisirain ng kalokohan ninyo ang mga ambisyon ninyo, parang buhawi pa yan--wawasakin ka!<br />

[28] "At tapos, magsisimba na sila ulit? Hah! E-isnabin ko sila! Hahanapin nila ako pero magkukulong ako. [29] Kasalanan nila yun...kasi <i>hate</i> nila ang sinasabi ko at winala lang nila ang tungkol ke God, [30] kasi inisnab nila ang <i>advice</i> ko at mga <i>warning</i> ko, [31] kakainin nila lahat ng pinag-gagagawa nila at malulunod sila sa sarili nilang kapalpakan.<br />
<br />
[32] Papatayin ng ka-engotan ang mga engot, at di lang yan, wawasakin pa sila. [33] Pero ang mga nakikinig sa akin ay mabubuhay ng tahimik at ligtas, walang takot.<br />

Kahit anung paliwanag mo, kahit kitang-kita na nilang ang ganda ng produkto, ayaw maniwala. Baka daw pag ininom nila mapano sila. Pero di nila tinatanong kung masama bang uminom ng softdrinks o <i>powdered juice</i> o dilatang pagkain. Basta, titirahin nila ang mga yun. Walang pakundangan.</div>

Pero pag sinabi mong mabisa sa kalusugan at panlaban sa sakit ang isang produkto, ayaw maniwala. Tu-tungo-tungo lang o magagandahan sa product presentation mo, pero di naman bibili. Tapos, ayun!--pupunta sa tindahan at bibili ng mga lason--e di ba mga lason naman talaga yang mga me-kemikal na produktong mga yan!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sasabihin pa, masyado daw mahal, gaya ng Purple Corn juice. Mas mahal kaya yung ma-dialysis at ma-chemo. Pero wala silang ganung kataas na kamalayan. Pag me sakit na, dun nila ma-re-realize. At kahit ma-realize nila, di naman susubok. Pupunta lang sa duktor at iinumin ang anumang ireseta sa kanila. Karamihan ng nirereseta di naman talaga nakagagaling. Pero kahit ipaliwanag mo ito, ganun pa rin--ayaw maniwala talaga. Ayaw pa rin ng natural na pagkain. Addict sila sa synthetic.</div>

Tapos, makikita mo, nasa ataol na sila. Kung naniwala sana sila, e di me malaking chance na buhay pa sila ngayon. Sabi daw ng mga ibang engot na nagdudunung-dunungan, pag oras mo na, oras mo na. Di daw makukuha sa paginom-inom ito ng mga <i>natural health supplements</i>. Tanong ko, e ba't nagbigay pa ang Diyos ng mga halamang nakagagamot? At sana, tanggalin na natin ang mga ospital, dahil pag oras mo na, oras mo na. Pero hindi, pag tungkol sa ospital, naiintindihan nilang dapat ay subukan nating gumaling pa. Nakikita nilang ang ospital ay bigay ng Diyos para baka sakaling gumaling pa sila. Pero ang mga natural na pagkaing nakagagaling na likha ng Diyos ay di nila ma-imagine na pwedeng magpagaling at dapat lang na subukan, baka sakali.</div>

Magastos daw ang purple corn juice pero sigarilyo ng sigarilyo. Aba, kwentahin mo ang nasisigarilyo at iniinom na alak ng mga yan at makikita mo ang sang damukal na perang inaaksaya nila sa walang kwentang gastos. Yun ang magastos! Tapos, pag me sakit na yang mga yan, mukhang kawawa. Kasi, ayaw maniwala!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eto pa, isa pang ka-engotan: Pag mag-alok ka ng purple corn juice sa me sakit, pineperahan mo daw ang me sakit. Wala ka daw konsyensya. Pero pag doktor na ubod laki sumingil sa mga mamamatay na sa sakit, OK lang sumingil. Tapos, pag namatay ang pasyente, sisingil pa rin ang mga yan! Ke-lalaki pa rin ng mga sinisingil! Pero OK lang yun sa mga tao. Magbabayad pa rin sila, kahit malaki, at di nila iisiping kina-kwartahan lang sila ng mga duktor. Never. Feeling pa nga nila me utang na loob sila ke dok. Pero ang bentahan mo ng <i>natural food supplement</i> ang me sakit, namemera ka daw. Ayaw maniwala talaga!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pero eto ang good news: unti-unti nang nababasag sa katotohanan ang marami. <i>Natural food supplements</i> ang sagot sa kalusugan ngayon. Ikaw? Umalis ka na sa tropa ng mga ayaw maniwala at gusto lang ng lason sa katawan. Sumali ka na sa mga mulat ang mga mata sa katotohanan--na nilikha ng Diyos ang katawan ng tao para tumanggap lang ng natural na pagkain, at ito rin ang kagalingan ng katawan natin, hindi <i>synthetic</i>. Halika! Mag negosyo tayo ng Purple Corn juice! Click mo lang yung picture ng purple corn juice dyan sa <i>sidebar</i> para malaman mo kung paano.</div>

It's first and foremost a temple. It is first designed as a worship sanctuary, second only as a human body we use for interacting with the world. Do you know that you are a temple?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-body-Gods-temple-using/dp/0962305820?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="My body-- God's temple: Are you using your body for Jesus?" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0962305820&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0962305820" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But often, the body is used mainly as a tool for mundane interaction, period. We rarely use it as a real temple. We care about physical health, beauty, and wellness, but not about being a temple, a place of worship. Not even church people are aware that their bodies are temples, that their bodies are real places of worship. They still feel the need to go to a temple building to worship.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The body as a <i>body</i> should remain a second use. If it becomes the priority use (and remains at that), we destroy the body, and God promises he will destroy anyone who destroys the body, the temple of God. You are a temple--are you aware of that?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The body as a temple should always be kept fit as a worship place. Then, the body as a tool for interacting with the world should invite people to worship in the temple--their bodies--because each body is a temple. You are a temple. And if you're a fit temple for God, you invite other people to prepare their bodies as a fit temple for God as well. If you do this you've reached your full potential--your true life calling. You are a true success in God's eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are a temple. That's the first truth you should meditate and become.</span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-20793217060259829942011-03-01T00:15:00.000-08:002011-03-14T21:13:26.704-07:00Anong Me Narating?<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Nakarating Saan? </span></b> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Anong me narating? Nakarating saan? Ba't ba pag me pera lang, akala nila me narating na?</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gaya ng nakapag-abroad, o naka-tira sa US. Ito daw ang mga me narating na sa buhay. Ows? Bakit, dahil dollars ang kita? Dahil States side? Oh, come on! Ganun ba talaga ang buhay? Ganun ba ang ginawang pamantayan ng Lumikha, ng Diyos? Di yata. Nung huling nakita ko sa bible, hindi ganun e.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bakit? Ang magta-taho me narating din ah! Ang layo yata ng nilalakad niya araw-araw! Pati ang magbo-bote! Wala ba silang narating?</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ang kaisipang "Me narating" ay madalas bunga ng hindi nagiisip na kamalayan na bihag ng maka-perang sistema ng panimbang. Yung timbangan nila nakaka-kilala lang ng pera. Pag wala kang pera, wala ka daw narating sa buhay. Ka-engotan!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Ibig nilang sabihin, walang katuturan ang buhay ni Hesus dito? Di ba nga, sa mata ng Ama, si Hesus ang pinaka-successful na tao sa buong kasaysayan? E di naman siya naging ma-kwarta!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Madalas nga, pati simbahan ay naka base rin sa maka-perang panimbang sa tao. Ilang beses ko nang nakita kung paano nila kinikilala ang mga me pera, kung paanong me special treatment ang mga matataas na tao (hindi height, ha). Ang binoboto nila sa posisyon ay yung me kwarta. Ba't di nila makita ang batayan ni Kristo? "Makikilala mo sila sa kanilang bunga."</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sa panahon natin, kesyo ubod ka ng bait at namumuhay ng tama, di ka aakalaing me narating na. Kulelat ka lang sa kanila. Kung ikaw ay parati lang sa Pilipinas na hindi kumikita ng dollars, at dumating ang mga taga-US o England o Hongkong o anu pa man yan, at nag kaumpukan kayo, ang mga nag-abroad at kumikita ng dollars ang parating huwaran ng tagumpay. Kayong mga taga-Pinas at maliit ang kita (peso pa) ang taga-pakinig nila, taga-Amen.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sinong me narating? Alam nyo, ang dami kong kilalang mayayaman, ma-pera, pero wasak-wasak ang pamilya at buhay, ngunit tinitingala pa ring "me narating na sa buhay." Kahit sa simbahan. At ang dami ko ring kilalang maliit lang ang kita (peso pa), pero namumuhay ng tuwid sa Panginoon Diyos, pero minamaliit at itsi-pwera. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

This Season they bought expensive Christmas baskets to distribute as gifts to these doctors. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nothing wrong with giving, in fact it's the spirit of the Season. But who does the Season celebrate about? Doctors? Or, let's broaden more our scope and ask, is Christmas for the privileged few, the professionals who ask exorbitant fees from the sick, the educated and well-to-do?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I remember right, we have Christmas now because years ago an extremely selfless person was born to very poor families, so poor he was born in a dirty, germ-full manger and visited by the poorest of poor that time--the shepherds. If we're honest, Christmas is really about the poor, and for the poor. Hence, much later, the wise men came bearing expensive gifts--not for doctors or professionals or the privileged few who had already been enjoying favors and wealth--but to the poor child living in the very poor town of Nazareth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Stopper-trade-Christmas-Basket/dp/B001MA6OKC?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="The Corporate Show Stopper™ Christmas Gift Basket" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B001MA6OKC&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This should be the true spirit of Christmas--aside from the very vital fact that it is the day we remember how God sent His salvation to totally get us out of sin. If you give gifts in the name of the Savior's birth, you should give the best to children, particularly poor children. Otherwise, if you give expensive gifts to doctors, professionals, and those who are already enjoying privilege and riches, give them on some other occasions, not Christmas. Perhaps give them on Halloween or April Fools. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wine-com-Say-Chocolate-Gift-Basket/dp/B001DK4YVM?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Wine.com Say It With Chocolate Gift Basket" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B001DK4YVM&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course we give gifts to the poor on Christmas--we give away our USED things, sometimes even used (or deformed) canned goods, toothbrushes, dentures, and underwear. Okay, okay, I admit, we also give them brand new stuff--like cheap instant noodles packed with sodium and chemical preservatives.<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001DK4YVM" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wine-com-Say-Chocolate-Gift-Basket/dp/B001DK4YVM?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Wine.com Say It With Chocolate Gift Basket" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B001DK4YVM&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Christmas baskets for the doctors had expensive wine, expensive corned beef and other canned meats, the best best cheese, costly nuts to cushion the items with, quality and expensive fruits, imported goodies and chocolates, and other costly items fit for the rich and famous. I figure a basket cost P3k to P5k.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, I wonder, who'd give gifts like that to a poor, poor man on Christmas? No one. Why? Because they have nothing that we desperately need. Drug companies give away such gifts to doctors whose endorsements they desperately need. Thus, the term "exchange gifts" is so apt for Christmas parties enjoyed by this wayward generation because they use each other, giving with ulterior motives attached. But such giving is not in the Savior's interest. The Savior gave himself fully to us at such a time when we hated Him the most, at such time when we were poorest.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

How many? How often? Do you think radical risks are necessary? Or are you just content with your status quo, your comfort zone, the way things have always worked and have always been? </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When you come to decision points for taking radical risks it often reveals what you're really made of, what you really have in you, what you really hold on to.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Some people have never taken any radical risks all their lives. They live very orthodox lives, always preferring safety to change. Safety is good but you seldom reach your God-given potential through keeping safe. Imagine if the inventor of elevators never risked to construct and ride that strange box that lifted him to a hundred feet or so. Imagine if he had opted to stay safe. Then we'd still be climbing stairs up to the tenth floor. Well, in a sense,that would be good exercise for all of us. But how about hospital patients? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Or worse, imagine if the inventor of stairs opted to play it safe and just constructed one-floor buildings. Or, if he constructed multi-story buildings, had opted to make us all climb ropes or simply build ramps which take up so much space. At the time he was to make the decision to build stairs it must have been a decision too radical--there wasn't yet a thing called "stairs." And folks must have thought he was nuts to even think of it.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are times we must make radical risks even if no one understands us, or if people think we're stupid to make them</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">. Of course, we must also be ready to take responsibility, because we don't know yet at the time what the radical risks would result to. A lot of radical risks are foolish and uncalled for, but a lot of them are also necessary. In fact, a lot of them are God's call for us, an assigned task. Moses risked his all to get a nation out of another bigger nation in the midst of cruelty and tyranny. What could be more silly? And crossing the sea on foot? Only time would tell how worthy radical risks are. And God? Well, He knows the end from the start. That's why we thank Him for the grace to recover from debacles. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If someone makes radical risks, we're often part of it and either suffers or benefits, depending on the outcome. But that's life, especially when the one taking the risk is a person that heavily influences our life spheres. Don't worry about people or leaders who are at radical decision points that involve our lives, being at points for taking radical risks. I say don't worry because I believe in God's grace to save us from wrong decisions of national or global consequences. So, help us, God.</span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-41201940691969887112010-11-25T16:12:00.000-08:002010-11-25T16:12:46.220-08:00Walk to Life and Weight Loss<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Leslie-Sansone-Walk-Home-Burning/dp/B001F12ISU?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk" height="200" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B001F12ISU&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" width="141" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001F12ISU" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Walk to life and weight loss. And start it now! Each day that we postpone working out for fitness, we make our enjoyment of a healthy life shorter. I thought about this one day and told myself I had to keep working out regularly. And walking is the easiest, simplest workout there is. Just go out and walk to life and weight loss.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And weight loss! If you keep walking and walking regularly you'd lose weight whether you like it or not. Some people look for special devices and machines and programs and fitness clubs and memberships that would cost them dearly. I say just put on your sneakers and go out and walk. Walk for 40 minutes to an hour daily. Enjoy free Vitamin D sunlight early in the morning from 6 to 8 am. Walk to life and weight loss.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Walking may seem too simple a workout, but really, it can only be appreciated deeply with depth of soul. Each step you take is a year more of healthy and happy life ahead of you and your spouse and family. Each step lets you see into the deeper meaning of life. Each step draws you closer to God. Well, that has been my experience. If you wanna go deeper in this, deeply consider taking long walks daily from now on, regardless your age and life perspective or religion. </span></span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-80528702780993172232010-07-22T21:47:00.000-07:002010-11-25T15:58:46.315-08:00Life is a Gamble<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1424189594" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /></b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>But It's Not about Gambling</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Malaliman</b> (deeply) always believes that life is a big gamble. In fact, no part of it doesn't require a gamble. Before you were born, your parents took a chance at you. Especially your mother. And especially God. It's a big risk for God to let you in on His creation, and His plan.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gambling makes you bet (or risk) money. A life gamble makes you risk (or bet) your life. When you decide to marry your would-be spouse you risked your life. You were willing to join him or her as one flesh, and which can never be undone even by today's annulment or divorce nonsense. It's a life you risked, and for life you will have to stand firm for it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But some folks don't get it. They gamble and then quit. Life gamblers never quit. They bet all in and wait for the cards to be served. And they look at the cards and face all odds. No retreat, no surrender. And with a life gamble, you always win--as long as you never quit. The moment you quit you lose, no matter if you think you're off the hook. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Building-Blocks-Life-Gamble/dp/1424189594?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Building Blocks of Life: Life Is a Gamble" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=1424189594&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1424189594" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And because life is always a gamble at every step, Malaliman (deeply) sees the need to sometimes assume a poker face--not against your spouse or loved ones, but against the enemy. You need to mislead them into thinking you're bankrupt--when in fact, Apostle Paul says, "All things are yours."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are those who do not bet in life. And they live comfy lives. You see them active in church, settled in what "ministry" God has given them. But the fact is, they're not in the "game." Some religious spirits will say, "Ministry is not a game. It's a serious thing!" </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh, but it <i>is</i> a game. And God hands out the cards. You have to bet. If you don't, you're not in the game. It means you don't believe in the game, if you know what I mean. You can only truly believe the moment you risk--and to be exact, if you bet <i>all in</i>. It's all or nothing. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Is-A-Gamble/dp/B0013MA42S?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="(Life Is A) Gamble" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B0013MA42S&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0013MA42S" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With a life gamble--and if you're in with the card Master--the fact of betting means you've won already. You may lose some in material possessions or earthly positions or standing--but you're a winner just because you bet. You risked. And to God, that kind of investment is real faith. True Faith is losing all because you believe. "He who wants to save his life will lose it. He who loses it for my sake will find it." The word l<i>oses</i> there is actually taking a dangerous risk.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Some people think faith is when you don't take part in the game. They think faith is avoiding any bet. They think attending a Christian church faithfully is faith. So all their lives they haven't risked a single limb, except perhaps quote verses religiously everyday on their FaceBook accounts. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Gamble-Jette-Brown/dp/0982149697?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Life Is A Gamble" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0982149697&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0982149697" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003ICWEB0" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B00004XT04" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Faith is more than that. It's betting your life all-in--and then looking like a loser to everyone. But in the end, you know who really won and who really lost. Jesus looked a loser in every way. He lost everything. Pilate and Herod reconciled and celebrated and had it all. But in a very deep sense, you know who really won.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When a typhoon strikes, there are some vital things to have. So make sure you pay attention to these Malaliman (deeply) tips:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Extra batteries. And make sure they work, or better yet, brand new. During typhoon season add batteries to your shopping list always. You never know. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. Radio and flash lights. Of course, the batteries are for your radio and flashlights. In a blackout (or brownout, take your pick) you have to keep updated about the latest from the weather station. At least have one radio set, battery operated. The flashlight is for finding your way to where the radio is kept--and to the toilet, and while you're spending time in it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. Extra food. And make that canned food. Stock enough for 3 days. Canned goods are good for eating straight from the cans to your mouth. In case you and your spouse aren't in good terms, no need to worry about who's gonna cook. Just open a can and dump its contents straight to your mouth. Then stuff some bread in there, too, and burp! See?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. Candles and matches. These are for use after you and your spouse cease fire and try to make up. Dinner with candle lights can help a lot here. Also, you can use them later to beat the brownout--or blackout, whatever.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">5. Eggs. They're easy to cook. You can even just top them raw over hot steaming rice and that's it! And spice it up with a little soy sauce. Hmmm, my favorite!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When a typhoon strikes, you got to have the things to have way before it comes. Don't wait till it's arrived, and then you go out to the grocery store or food shop to get what you need. </span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the US, it's the onset of summer. But don't think you don't need these tips. You never know when a typhoon suddenly strikes in summer, what with the crazy atmospheric alterations climate change brings. Don't laugh now, but one summer we in Manila had to deal with the phenomenon--typhoon in summer. And everybody was caught by surprise--beach boys in trunks suddenly finding themselves in the middle of a storm while swimming at the beach. So they opened their umbrellas because they might get wet in the rain.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When a typhoon strikes, you got to have the things to have when a typhoon is around. And I'm not just talking about storms or tornadoes or hurricanes--I'm also talking about a big mouth of a typhoon. You heard it first from Malaliman. Deeply!</span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-74257956867604188112010-06-09T21:06:00.000-07:002010-07-14T16:50:55.337-07:00Uxorious<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How about if your best pal turns out to be a uxorious guy? Can you take it? All your scheduled fun time for "the boys" he sets aside in favor of taking his wife out to see some ballet show or soap opera. And he always does that. His wife's wishes is his command. Then he's a uxorious guy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, he's the lion in the house, but his wife is his trainer. Yes, what he says is the rule in his house, because his wife says so, and etc. Well, it's not bad to be loving and caring to your wife, even being a little bit uxorious, but not to the point that you become her mere spokesman. That's malaliman.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, now you know the meaning of "Uxorious." And young man, when you get married, do love your wife--but don't be an intolerable uxorious one. And young lady, when you get married, do submit to your husband--and don't turn him into your uxorious robot. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Uxorious/dp/B00314YG52?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Uxorious" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B00314YG52&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B00314YG52" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000QYYU4C" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The best principle here is to love each other in God.

Ang paggamit kasi ng dila ay nakaka-apekto sa talas o purol ng utak. Pag sinanay mong tama ang pananalita, magiging matalas ang talino mo. Mas lalawak kasi ang pagiisip mo.

But how about mercury in fish? Sometime in 2004 authorities came up with reports that too much fish may put too much mercury in your system. The result? High levels of the element can double the risk of heart attacks, plus other deadly ailments like mercury poisoning. So what do we seafood lovers do now?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Experts say eat fish at least 2 times a week for a healthy heart, but go very easy on canned white tuna and grouper--fish groups that are high in mercury. Enjoy tuna now and then but don't eat it daily, more so each meal! Of course, they're high in Omega-3 but you don't want too much mercury in your system, do you? Again, the rule of thumb here is, everything in moderation. That takes care of the question, "How about mercury in fish?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, you want a list of fish low in mercury. Well, you got it! Pala-Isip thinks of everything for you guys. That's exactly why I'm nicknamed Pala-Isip--I always think about things that will benefit my readers--especially fish lovers. My nephew is one heck of a fish lover! He has dozens of them swimming in his aquarium. So does my father-in-law who has a mini-size fishpond at his backyard. Now where was I....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fish-Oil-Enteric-Coated-100-sgels/dp/B000V77ME4?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Fish Oil (Enteric-Coated) 100 sgels" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B000V77ME4&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000V77ME4" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh yes! The fish list! Try striped bass, Atlantic Mackerel (my late dad loved this!), Salmon, Herring, Sablefish, and freshwater Trout, among many others. Of course, you can get Omega-3 from ready to swallow supplements (to stop worrying and asking yourself how about mercury in fish) but you'd miss out on the joy of grilling or cooking fish, not to mention the fulfillment in catching them yourself!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favorite fish? A lot--among them Lapu-Lapu. Ever tried Chinese style steamed tuna? With its soft and juicy meat? Or any sweet and sour fish fillet. Oh my! These are a bit expensive in posh seafood restaurants, but you and your family can have it more often (not daily, though) when you have earned enough from your online business. Online business? Yup, Malaliman (Deeply) has prepared something for you. See below....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

The first time I saw this word I thought it was a soy brand. Then, thinking again, I thought it was a foreign word that meant "see in the distance." After more reflection and research, I found out that "soi "in French is <i>oneself</i> and "disant" is <i>saying</i>.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Combined, it means how you say or express yourself. In short, "self-styled."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Soi-disant is now part of the English vocabulary by adoption. If somebody is self-styled you may say he is soi-disant. That means he is unique and has a mind of his own. He does not easily go with the crowd. He always does things his way, with his signature on it. If you don't preach like every other preacher, you're a soi-disant preacher. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most people pray long prayers. If they pray for a meal, they think they always have to make it a bit longer. But if you pray differently like Jesus--with his simple "Gee, thanks" before feeding the 5000--you're a soi-disant believer; something what the church is in bad need of, Malaliman believes deeply.</span><br />

They do not just go along with how people often do things; they do it their style. Soi-disant thinkers and doers are pioneers and geniuses.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But most soi-disasnt people are mocked and even persecuted--just because they're different.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Everyone needs this info to stay inspired with his or her job, boss, family, church, spouse, and life. So, here's what Malaliman (deeply) has to say:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Acts-Moving-Forward-Getting/dp/0877880824?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Simple Acts of Moving Forward: A Little Book About Getting Unstuck" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0877880824&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0877880824" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. To stay inspired to the max, stay inspired to the max. Make it a habit to make it a goal to be automatically inspired all the time. In short, it all depends on you. Do it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. They say you have got to always think positively and ignore the negative. WRONG! If you do that, you won't stay inspired. You'd remain deceived. True inspiration is an appreciation of how positives and negatives all work out together for good. Thus, to stay inspired to the max, see the art in the positive and negative of life and creation--then appreciate it well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. They say look only at the good side of people to stay inspired to the max. WRONG again! What would have happened if God did that? Then Jesus wouldn't have died on the cross despite our sins. But Jesus did die, because God looked at both the good and bad sides of humans--good enough to save them and bad enough to save them, too. So He was inspired to the max to send His only Son to die for us. See? See both the good and bad in people and learn to stay inspired nonetheless.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Do what you love doing. Make sure you're not living your life the way others want you to.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Eat what you like. This makes you stay inspired to the max. But do it with proper discipline and exercise. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. Express yourself fully and freely. This is another powerful way to stay inspired to the max! Do it even if you could offend someone. Just make sure what you express is the truth, and express it gently. Jesus offended many with his words (he even did it harshly at times) yet the thing made him stay inspired to the max.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. You need to watch what inspires others and how.

But I decided to just give it away for free. Is it really effective? It is. I've been doing it for years and I've never grown overweight since. You need to know how to stop your appetite. Your life may depend on it. So here goes the secret....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drink two to three tall glasses of cold water each time you feel the pangs of hunger. Well, except, of course, when it's time for a regular meal. But if you feel like eating a snack--and a big one--drink 3 tall glasses of cold water. If you still feel like eating, drink another glass. That's how to stop your appetite effectively.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/SpecTrim-Premium-Weight-Loss-Pills/dp/B001CCMJWM?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="NEW!

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you need to control your eating during meals, drink one or two tall glasses of cold water before meals. It lessens your appetite and you'd feel full. To avoid a bloated tummy, avoid drinking water right after eating a meal. Let 30 minutes to pass by. Do this and make it a habit and you master how to stop your appetite.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Feeding-Your-Appetites-Control-Controlling/dp/B001ELJRE4?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Feeding Your Appetites: Take Control of What's Controlling You" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B001ELJRE4&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001ELJRE4" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay. So you've learned how to stop your appetite. How do you make it operational again if you need to put back some weight on? Simple--just stop drinking water right before meals. Instead, drink water an hour before meals. This clears up your tummy and prepares it for ingesting. It also perks up your appetite--just make sure to have zero in-between snacks. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there you have it--how to stop your appetite, and put it back on operation. This requires discipline.</span><br />

It's an adjective. When you're too fussy about details, especially unimportant ones, and you begin to be a pain in the neck being so, you're likely to be identified as persnickety--a person too affected by nitty-gritty details.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My brother is persnickety. He'd keep going back to a book case to make sure all the books lined up there are properly arranged and smartly aligned. So does my sister. She can't leave her bed to go to work unless all wrinkles are smoothed on the bed sheet, pillow cases, and blanket. Well, good for them they have a brother like me who keeps checking on them each minute to make sure they quit doing those things.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dont-be-Persnickety-John-Lee/dp/0887533523?ie=UTF8&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Don't be so Persnickety" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0887533523&tag=lowlyonhubpa-20" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0887533523" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I, Malaliman, used to have a persnickety boss. She would always call my attention to small details over and over again everyday. Then I also had a persnickety client who always phoned me about his orders and the deliveries almost every hour. So I decided to also be a persnickety sales agent--always avoiding my boss and client each minute and hour, respectively. I did this by being persnickety about asking my fellow sales agents about the time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lowlyonhubpa-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003EWUMY0" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then there was our persnickety accountant who always checked on my time record--asking me each minute about when I timed in and timed out in the morning, during breaks, at lunch time, and when it was time to go home--even the time when I reached home. Boy, it was one big persnickety job! What was our company's name? "Persnickety."</span><br />

Tips Your Meter Reader Won't tell You<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.money.ws/choy777"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Reach Your Potential! </span></b></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They say that due to climate change electric bills have suddenly skyrocketed in Manila. Consequently, there's protest everywhere on doubled or tripled electric bill rates. One friend said her bill had always been P1400 a month or something like $30 a month. Last month she got a P2700 bill or $60, and that after so many brownouts!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, what do we do? You want lower electric bills? Here are some tips your meter reader won't tell you: </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Have a Doberman guarding your front gate, and let him lose around the compound. Make sure he's able to show his barking, angry face above the gate when he jumps at it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Cut down all trees along your street so that anyone whose job is to walk around the block to check on something won't have any shed to get relief from the sun's heat--and heat stroke is rampant today. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Often visit hospitable friends whose guilt remains until they offer guests cold drinks and some relief from their electric fans or air conditioners.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Often stroll in SM malls. If possible, arrange with the head guard of a 24-hour store for some overnight accommodation. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. At night, sleep on your roof. You won't believe how cool and refreshing it is up there at night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. Store your food and left overs in your stomach.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. For cold drinks, look for neighbors who'd defrost their fridge and ask for all the ice they can come up with. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. Refrain from ironing clothes for a while. Just wear them, go out, and leave it to the sun to iron them out. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9. To cool your head off and stop getting angry with your power suppliers, you need to see beautiful, peaceful sceneries. No, you don't have to spend much for this. Simply click this link: <a href="http://choygaerlan.ws/Philippine_Scenes">Beautiful scenes to stop anger</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the way, I also wonder why electoral candidates do not touch on the subject. One candidate did his best to investigate the issue on cell phone bills but not this issue. </span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-82420991940560888672010-04-28T21:08:00.000-07:002010-04-28T21:18:42.750-07:00The Simple Beauty of Nature: Nature Ruminations<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I often hunger for the simple beauty of nature, so I'm often found on mountain sides in the spirit. I love watching thick, white mists lazily passing over trees and getting tangled in them for a while.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How I wish there were trees as tall and gracious as these in the backgrounds. Yes, even the city. Then there would plenty of shades and shadows to meditate in and reflect on life. ah, the simple beauty of nature!...Sigh! The picture above is of my dear wife in the hills of Trinidad in Benguet, Baguio.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love looking at a nature scene from above, noting the depth of spaces, and how the hills roll steeply. I like God's views of things. It is spectacular and panoramic. You get a good idea of how things are--both the general and the detailed--requisites to appreciate the simple beauty of nature. Picture above was taken in the Baguio General Hospital premises.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's amazing to imagine how God sees you from above, distant yet near--so near as to surround you and feel his breath on your skin. Yet, so far as to merely get a slight idea of him. Above is a picture of my dear wife taken in our community plaza in Project 8, QC.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took a shot of the towering trees in Agbanawag, Nueva Ecija when we were there last year. I love trees and the height by which they grow, extending upward and reaching for God. I hope we can be the same---going nowhere but ever up and up! If only you could remain clinging to a tree as it grows...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuam2fZRG9FleI8v3E1FAuzUP7HNn9c4tN-UXwlwBMN9aYR4tAHHz1mwcFjHd1VhNLIqW0TaxU2liSFmga0RU465dImEW5FxUuQm6CY9k8j09BncwF-jVkeDibr6mQ_5j27SSUPyNis70/s1600/Image265.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuam2fZRG9FleI8v3E1FAuzUP7HNn9c4tN-UXwlwBMN9aYR4tAHHz1mwcFjHd1VhNLIqW0TaxU2liSFmga0RU465dImEW5FxUuQm6CY9k8j09BncwF-jVkeDibr6mQ_5j27SSUPyNis70/s320/Image265.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also love rice field sceneries, where the wide landscape carved by man and beast (or his machine) is still dominated by the simple beauty of nature, which stands ever more majestic than whatever man achieves. The scene just stands there for years, quiet, witnessing the glory of God on the expanse of sky just above it, daily. I wish we can discover that nothing is more important...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I squint my eyes to look farther ahead (try it with the picture above), I get a strange peace that surpasses understanding. Also, a relaxing of the eyes and the muscles behind that work it. Thus, I love looking at the simple beauty of nature beyond...and much beyond. The ancient Japanese Zen masters loved looking afar in silent ponderous reflections. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And how I also love to watch simple huts along a waterway amid sheltering, waving palm trees, all in the middle of a quiet rice field. The simple beauty of nature--keeps you looking for a hideaway in the countryside where life is simple, better, and there is peace.</span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595158612065205245.post-59506361706063921152010-04-23T21:00:00.000-07:002010-04-23T21:09:12.342-07:00A Tattered Wood Transforms<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ugly is defined depending on the context where it is found. People can be funny about how they see things. A spoiled brat is cute if the kid lives in a posh mansion, but it's terrible if the kid lives in a squatters' area. I visited a farmer's house made of nipa and sinawali and people say it's a pity. I saw the same house materials in a resort and it's cute. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3MX-K5_XaDKKDM3FzjrnL1nT6azTbUU0LU7R7-faa_ucP9pl1xFyfOt-DORsCPLS0FV0DfXBfx2hC_X7OHhNldLM8n_NHGa5Ug27zKEj69OryAtaS9NU4ZMh_Bntjp2aBK-Rr9Vsr-2i_/s1600/Image386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3MX-K5_XaDKKDM3FzjrnL1nT6azTbUU0LU7R7-faa_ucP9pl1xFyfOt-DORsCPLS0FV0DfXBfx2hC_X7OHhNldLM8n_NHGa5Ug27zKEj69OryAtaS9NU4ZMh_Bntjp2aBK-Rr9Vsr-2i_/s320/Image386.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw a tattered wood in a vacant lot. A guy was getting rid of it in flames, and I thought, what a waste. I asked the guy and he said the wood was too ugly to be re-used for anything, saved a firewood. Then I went to a mall and saw on display the same type of wood--same shape--but this one was polished, and it was selling for thousands of pesos. Shoppers say it's beautiful. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I thought, the same value system is used to weigh a man's worth. Ugly or beautiful is defined depending on who has it. Recently, a powerful and moneyed politician who had ambushed media people and buried some of them alive in his hometown was declared innocent of the charge. According to the judge, he was "beautiful." Also, an influential young guy who mercilessly gunned down an innocent youth because of some petty traffic misunderstanding is being paraded as "beautiful." </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Election campaign time is when ugly is presented as beautiful, and vice versa, and many people believe it because of the money value involved. Yet, everything I see under the sun that man gives value on is nothing but a tattered wood. They may make it ugly or beautiful--nonetheless, in truth, it's just tattered wood. Well, some folk may buy that expensive polished tattered wood from that mall and brag about it to friends--even to me--and I will respect him for that (he's entitled to his opinion), but I will always see it in its original state--it's nothing but tattered wood. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
It's good to appreciate and recognize when a tattered wood transforms. Yet, let's not get too boastful and forget that originally, it was mere tattered wood.</span></div>Mac Quentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241443013065774191noreply@blogger.com0
